Sans Superellipse Pimas 11 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Monologue' and 'Monologue Rounded' by Halfmoon Type, and 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with compact counters and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, with straight verticals and flattened curves that create a crisp, rectilinear rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with subtle rounding, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Lowercase forms are narrow and economical, with small bowls and short arms; figures are similarly compact and vertically emphasized for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where space is limited but impact is needed. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and editorial display typography that benefits from a compact, high-energy voice. In longer passages, it will read more like a dense display face than a relaxed text companion.
The overall tone is forceful and contemporary, with a utilitarian, no-nonsense character. Its compressed proportions and solid shapes read as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward an industrial and editorial voice rather than a friendly or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using robust, rounded-rectilinear forms to keep the letterforms cohesive and highly legible at large sizes. Its consistent stroke behavior and compact counters suggest a focus on strong typographic color and a modern, engineered aesthetic.
Round letters such as C, O, and G appear built from superelliptical curves, producing flat sides and tight apertures that increase density. The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and a dark, even texture at display sizes, with narrow spacing that reinforces the condensed look.
